Quote of the Day - Van der Leun Edition

It is no secret that classic liberalism, in the mold of FDR, JFK,and LBJ that reached its apotheosis in Hubert Humphrey, has long been consigned to the bone-yard. What has taken its place hates to be tarred with the brush of liberalism because, frankly, it isn't. It prefers to be called "progressivism" even as "a sociopathic political and social recidivism" more accurately describes it. - Gerard Van der Leun, The Not-So-Great Generation and the Vision That Dare Not Speak Its Name, American Digest.
